As of this week, I haven't seen anything for it. The e-mail I got from Discovery was that the show was out of production. Someone else got info from Discovery that the show was returning at some point. No idea which one of us got the compitent support person..

from what i know...

Top Gear USA actually requires the BBC to reshoot a few segments--and given the "low" demand of the show and that the fact that the US version is almost two seasons behind, I believe Discovery Channel cancelled Top Gear out of their programming.

rest assured---Top Gear is still going strong and finishing up season 7 this sunday

this week on Top Gear...

In the final programme of the current series is Jeremy faster driving in real life or on a computer game? What will break first at sub zero temperatures, - a car or Richard Hammond? And this week's 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' is Little Britain's David Walliams.
Clarkson visited Laguna Seca to beat his GT4 Lap Time with an NSX.....
gonna be good this week.

I saw it one day this week before I left for work. I couldn't believe it was on so early in the morning. Who's watching car shows at that hour?
